Chapter 170 of Xin Zi Juan: Determine the strategy and clean up
"Yao Qing, it's easy to bring people in. Maybe they were full of enthusiasm and courage to do things when they first came in, but how long can they maintain it in this environment? Those who are close to Zhu will be red, and those who are close to Mo will be black. Those who are close to Mo will be black.
In the Tianfu Yamen, I can't even say whether I can maintain my original intention, let alone them?" Feng Ziying smiled, "In the final analysis, we still have to use the system to manage people. How can there be hundreds or even thousands of public servants?
How to supervise them? How to urge them to work seriously? It’s not just about us bringing in some people we think we can trust, it’s also about having an arrangement in the system.”
Wu Yaoqing understood what Feng Ziying meant. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the situation of the Shuntian government office. However, this was the style of the Zhou Dynasty and was inherited from the previous Ming Dynasty. It had been like this for hundreds of years. How could it be so easy?
Can it be changed?
It is too difficult to change the system. Not to mention that it will not be accomplished overnight, and it will even involve too many structural changes. Can the court agree? Of course, it is certainly possible to make some detailed adjustments within its scope of authority, but it must be changed
The structural framework will definitely not work.
Unless there is a plan from top to bottom, does the current court still have such ambition? Wu Yaoqing is not optimistic and does not believe that it can be done.
Seeing that Wu Yaoqing was silent, Feng Ziying laughed to herself.
"I've gone a bit far. Your suggestion is feasible for now. Since you have this idea, then follow this. I will go and say hello to Li Wenzheng in the execution room. Now there are also three yamen guards in the class.
It’s so outrageous. There are people who cheat and cheat, people who tip off people and cheat on others, people who work hard and go against their own will, people who bully men and bully women, there are too many to mention. I don’t know how Mr. Wu can tolerate these people.
, even if it’s just a perfunctory move, at least it must be in a basic state, right? In this way, I don’t even dare to use people from my own yamen to handle cases. I have to find foreign aid or go downstairs to extract people, or even
It’s simply a shame to guard against your own people!”
Seeing Feng Ziying's words filled with indignation, Wu Yaoqing also smiled bitterly. In fact, this kind of situation can be found in every yamen, but it is especially true in Shuntian Prefecture Yamen. The main reason is still from above, because Fu Yin failed to perform his duties, Fu Cheng was absent, and the two chief officials
It's a dereliction of duty, and that's why I let the people below me behave like this.
If we really want to supervise officials at all levels and hold officials at all levels accountable, how could such a situation be possible?
Do you really think these people don’t want to eat this bowl of rice?
Countless people in this yamen were looking at this bowl of rice, wanting to serve it. Not to mention others, even Ni Er had mentioned it to him several times, explicitly or implicitly, to see if he could arrange for some brothers to come in.
These people don't dare to work as regular servants in the yamen, but they still have no problem playing the roles of deputy servants, assistants, and local cowards.
Especially in the past two years, the number of refugees from other places who have poured into the city has increased significantly. Many of them still have some martial arts skills. If they really need to hone their skills, they can be fully qualified for these roles.
It was not easy for Ni Er to tell Feng Ziying, so he talked about it a few times in front of Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing. Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing both felt that there was no problem. At any rate, Ni Er also knew the basics and knew the rules. Compared with many unruly people in the yamen
A bastard who breaks the rules is much better.
"Your Majesty said that, I already know it in my mind, but you may have to make some arrangements in the staff room." Wu Yaoqing glanced at Feng Ziying.
Although the status of the three-class yamen servants is not as good as that of the scribes, the principal and deputy servants are all included in the establishment of the Shuntianfu yamen. It does not mean that they can be added or deleted casually. These procedures are all responsible for the clerk.
, if this official in charge of the office is deliberately causing trouble and is holding you back, it will be really hard for you to handle.
"Well, I have considered it. Let Li Wenzheng go to the official office as a clerk, and the prison clerk here will be taken over by Li Jianxing." Feng Ziying obviously thought carefully. If he cannot control the personnel power of Shuntian Mansion Yamen, he will not be able to arrange himself.
People cannot do this, let alone command the officials in the yamen to do things according to their own intentions.
He had already deeply felt this when he was investigating the Tongcang case. At that time, he had to obey the authority urgently and had no choice but to transfer people from Long Jinwei and Xia Bianzhou County. Now the case there is on the right track and the situation is under control.
, then you can make some adjustments within your scope of authority.
Of course, this requires Wu Daonan's support and approval.
However, given Wu Daonan's current situation, he probably won't object. It's just some staff adjustments that involve specific work. As long as they have a good discussion, he should be able to accept it.
According to Feng Ziying's judgment, Wu Daonan himself has no intention of continuing to work as Shuntian Fuyin for too long. If the court had not made a suitable position in the last round of adjustments, he would not have stayed here.
This kind of local official position with complicated affairs can be said to be the most grueling and training position. It depends on whether you are suitable for it, and Wu Daonan is obviously not suitable. The Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy are the best places for him, and even the Ducha
It's better to stay in the hospital than to stay here.
"Sir, Situ Nan, the official of the Ministry of Rites, is not an ordinary person. If you want to touch him, Mr. Wu may not agree." Wu Yaoqing hesitated and said: "His wife's uncle is Xie Zengmin, a doctor in the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Rites."
"Oh?" Feng Ziying also thought that Situ Nan was polite to her on the surface, but he still had reservations about actual affairs. He must have something to rely on. He didn't expect that he could be involved in a fifth-grade doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette.
If it was the clerk of other houses, he would tolerate it for the time being, but now he wants to take action against the third class of yamen servants to ensure that many affairs in the next stage can be executed, so he must firmly secure the position of clerk of the clerk's house.
Control is in your own hands.
"The Minister of Fine Dining in the Ministry of Rites, a doctor in the Qing Li Division?" Feng Ziying thought for a while, but was not too impressed. He didn't have much dealings with the Ministry of Rites, but Wu Daonan had served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and it was probably the friendship they formed at that time.
"That's easy. Does the Tongcang case involve Situ Nan?" Feng Ziying sneered.
"There is no direct reference. This person is very cautious. Even if there is, it is probably a few floors away. It may not be easy to find out." Wu Yaoqing thought for a moment and shook his head, "But this person works as a clerk in the official office.
Over the years, I have had a lot of disagreements with the officials in the yamen. Moreover, this person has a good nature and likes women from good families, so some people offer their wives in order to get promoted..."
Feng Ziying and Feng Ziying felt a little uncomfortable when they heard Wu Yaoqing say that he was sexually voluptuous, especially a woman from the Liang family. Why did it sound like it was pointing at him? Of course Wu Yaoqing would not insinuate himself, but it was true that a mere official in Situ Nan also had such power.
Let him be surprised.
Seeing the strange look on Feng Ziying's face, Wu Yaoqing thought he was in disbelief, so he sighed, "Sir, although this Situ Nan is just a clerk in the office, he is in charge of the promotion of hundreds of officials in the government office.
, To be blunt, there are more than 400 officers and deputies in the entire mansion. Apart from the big and small squad leaders and the 20 or 30 people who are more active or often appear in front of you, how many others do you know?
Even if they know each other, they may feel familiar, but they may not even be able to pronounce their names..."
"This does not include the one or two thousand helpers who are not formally established. These people are the main force in doing work. They also want to become principal and deputy servants, but there are only so many places in and out every year. Only one can be added by retiring.
It has to be assessed by all parties, and the power of assessment lies in the hands of the officials. If you have some skills, that's fine. Those who have mediocre performance but don't have much money and property, and want to make a stable job here for a lifetime, can't just do it.
Can you take these crooked ways?"
After hearing Wu Yaoqing's detailed introduction to the situation, Feng Ziying knew that there was probably something fishy here, "Then there is something wrong with the person who offered his wife?"
"Yes, this person has been found out. In the Tongcang case, he leaked information twice, spread the news to the outside world, and collected 1,200 taels of silver from the families of two grain merchants outside..." Wu Yaoqing nodded, "
It was Long Jinwei Lord Zhao and his people who found out..."
"Haha, no wonder you are willing to sacrifice your wife. If you just sell two pieces of news, you can get one thousand two hundred taels of silver. In the famine years in the north, when refugees come to Beijing, how many girls and wives can you buy?"
Feng Ziying sneered, "Sure enough, they are the same, and it just so happens that you will take care of this matter. Use this person to nail Situ Nan to death and sacrifice his wife. Maybe you will blackmail him and force him to sacrifice his wife?"
Wu Yaoqing understood and nodded repeatedly, "Yaoqing also means the same thing. If you follow the clues, you can clean up the dirty things in this yamen and correct the atmosphere."
"Well, you have to clean the house to be able to entertain guests. Our Shuntian Mansion is the best place in the world. I go to greet the people from the Procuratorate of the City and the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities all day long and ask them to step up their efforts to prevent the investigation. But it turns out that our internal
Miscellaneous things happen one after another, how do you expect me to straighten my back and chest in front of others?" Feng Ziying also meant the same thing, "You and Wen Yan have a good plan, and I will explain to Li Wenzheng here, he is in the Yamen.
He's been there for more than ten years, don't let him sit in this position but not be able to sit still, that would be a joke."
"That's not the case. Li Wenzheng is also a clerk after all, but he just changed his position. If you give him this opportunity, he will definitely go all out. Moreover, he has been in the execution room for a long time and is very familiar with all the situations. When he joins the clerk
After getting married, I can be a better adviser to the adults."
Wu Yaoqing also knows that Li Wenzheng is not a simple person. He is also involved in the Tongcang case this time. However, since he has turned to the adults, the issues involved are not principled. Almost everyone in this yamen is involved.
So that's another matter. Of course, he may have to find a suitable time to make it clear to the adults here.
